Event Details

A Hacker's Education

Join Tech@NYU for a panel about what it takes for "hackers" (in all senses of the word) to succeed. Notable NYU faculty will be discussing their thoughts on student entrepreneurship and how to take that first step.

Every semester, Tech@NYU hosts Startup Week, a week-long series of events, kicked off by theHackNY Hackathon and ending with a bang with DemoDays. This fall, we are partnering up with EIA@NYU-Poly, NYU EEX, and Parsons to further expose NYC students to the larger tech community in the city.

This semester's theme is "Hacking as a Mentality." Not just in the coding sense though - hacking is the process by which one leverages skill, experience, and alternative thinking to create value.

NYC is rapidly turning into a "hacking capital" with a recent massive growth in tech startups and venture capital. Understanding how one can learn to be a "hacker," applying those "hacking" skills, and succeeding are very powerful notions to be explored during NYU Startup Week.

We are all looking forward to your presence - NYU Startup Week will be an amazing opportunity to learn from the best, meet others who share similar passions, and push you to translate that into action!

Tech@NYU

We are growing the student technology and design culture in NYC.

To get there, we need students continually building, to learn and internalize the nuances of great product and business. Tech@NYU is the sandbox that students need: a place to experiment, a forum for recognition, a community for discussion and sharing, and a stage for inspiration.

We also engage regularly with a number of NYC entrepreneurs who serve as mentors to students. Only a couple years old, Tech@NYU is one of the most diverse, most forward-moving student organizations in NYC.
